« Guérard is a modernist, impressionist, manétist (similar to Manet), landscape artist, sailor, japanist, fantasist, alchemist, essayist, an unrelenting imagination with a bouquet of fireworks bursting into a thousand whims in the head »: this is how Henri Béraldi, a 19th century art collector and writer, describes Henri Guérard, painter and printmaker.

In 1889, Guérard became vice-president of the Société des Peintres-graveurs, founded with Félix Bracquemond and he strove to make known the artistic possibilities of print as an expression in its own right, in the same way as painting or drawing.
